Noah's 2nd Birthday

Run Away With Me

I read somewhere that moms of 3 are the most stressed.

Not 2, not 5, not 10... Just 3.

This terrified me before I was pregnant with Nathan. Fred and I had always wanted 3 but now the world was telling me that this was the wrong number. It made me think that maybe 2 was just fine but I'm glad the Lord decided to surprise with one more because to me 3 is the magic number.

I love them all so much, so different so unconditional. 

Yes. They're a handful. They are messy. I change multiple poopies all day. They drive me bananas. And occasionally, yes, they stress me out but all that doesn't compare to the joy they give me and how much fun they are!

I'm thankful for my three boys. Thankful I get to stay home with them and run away with them to go on adventures like these. Eating treats. Running wild. Enjoying life with one another.

I ask myself how did I end up with such handsome boys, so funny, so sweet?

Stressed? No way.

Blessed? Absolutely.

Funny I tell ya.

Foundation Dedication

We got to attend our church building's foundation dedication the other week. It was pretty special, we got to write our thoughts and prayers on the foundation. The boys had a blast drawing on the concrete and ended up with permanent marker all over themselves. Its amazing to think that our marks and prayers will forever be on the foundation of our church. I continue to pray that our requests marked on the ground will someday be answered. God is good!

Wild.

Oh Noah. You've been driving me kinda nuts lately. You're obsessed with your night-night (blankie) you have to take it everywhere we go even though you're tripping all over the place with it but I let you take it anyways because I know how much you love it. You're bad to the bone then sweet as can be all in the matter of seconds. You love to be held and have me kiss your boo-boo's when you get hurt. You are Luke's shadow and you keep him laughing all day. We all love you Noah, that wild hair and spirit. Stay rad baby.
